Next Rajen Manick brings us a short series on Bodhinatha’s education programs….

On Sunday September 18, Bodhinatha held a half day seminar for parents at the Gold Crest Hotel. It was a selected group mostly consisting of a few regular donors of the Spiritual Park and parents whose children are studying from Bodhinatha’s Saivite Hindu Religion. Kulapati Manon Mardemootoo coordinated that session and welcomed everyone…

The seminar emphasized on how parents are to teach Hindu spiritual values to their children through love and through setting the examples themselves…

The colorful slides about parenting accompanying Bodhinatha’s explanations captivated everyone’s attention.

At the end of the seminars the participants came forward for the Guru’s Blessings…

Sishya Magadevi Canagasaby, mother of four children said she had learned a lot from Bodhinatha in that seminar.

Mr. and Mrs. Sivalingum Moorghen from Pamplemouses have supported the Spiritual Park financially. Mr. Sivalingum works at the Cardiac Centre at the SSRN Hospital. The couple is planning to enroll for the Master Course and study with Bodhinatha.

Our new team is young and lively. At home in the evenings they play soccer out in the yard behind their house and they are all very happy to go into the ocean and swim and frolic.

Arms around each other… they all get along very well. Some of the men on this team have been working on the Iraivan temple in Bangalore for well over a decade! They practically grew up carving the temple…

And from the UK we have:
